Excellent points. I wonder how this can fit into our school district's new discipline policy, based on restorative justice, where they have the bullies and the bullied sit down together to talk things out instead of disciplining the bullies--something very much less than popular with the parents. Making both sides perform back-breaking yard work side by side until they resolve their differences might be even more effective but I guess that won't fly these days.

Great ideas, I will consider this approach, wasn't mentioned in Conflict Mgt class.
